My comments... I know programmers in NYC (straight up php developers) who make anywhere between about $22/hr (junior) to about $66/hr (senior).
However, any NYC developer I know who also has systems/DBA skills (even slight) regularly pulls in at least $70/hr, rarely less.

BTW even a cursory search on Dice.com or a talk with any reputable Technical Recruitment professional will show you that the average full-time salary for a programmer, of any type, in NYC, is about 90K a year. This calculates out to, yep, about $50 an hour...including the cost of benefits, and assuming the full-timers have a workweek closer to 50 hours per week (which most do).
